Feeling great and worried...

I am just over 9 weeks and have my first prenatal appt tomorrow. I am so nervous to go because I’m terrified that there won’t be a heartbeat, mainly based on the fact that I feel great. I spent about a month being extremely exhausted but that seems to have passed. My breasts are still tender but not as much as before. Lots of acne, which I had last time as well. I occasionally feel really yucky in the afternoon but have not had any raging “morning sickness.” I guess I don’t recall being sick with my 1st pregnancy either but that was 11 years ago. Is this normal? Does anybody else feel pretty good for the most part?

They said they will Doppler and if they can’t find anything that way they will make sure to “verify a heartbeat” before I leave so I’m assuming their backup plan will be US.🤷🏼‍♀️

That's good! No matter what you'll be leaving with peace of mind. I'm glad they'll verify with ultrasound.

At my ultrasound they had trouble getting heartrate because baby was too active. They could *see* the heart pumping and obviously baby was moving but they couldn't get their probe to pick up the actual rate.
